Ever since the studio was taken over by Xbox, fans of Bethesda have been wondering where the studio will go next. Responsible for legendary gaming series such as Elder Scrolls and Fallout, they have always delivered great single-player titles in the past. Whilst we have seen the studio delve online with Fallout 76, it has now been announced the company will continue to focus on single-player experiences.

This perhaps won’t come as too much of a surprise to many. As previously mentioned, the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series are their main products which are usually both single-player titles.  Other notable titles under Bethesda’s library include the reboots of beloved shooters Doom and Wolfenstein, alongside Dishonored, The Evil Within, and its most recent release, Deathloop.

As a result, the longtime Bethesda creative director Tood Howard announced on an IGN Unfiltered podcast that this is what they will be focusing upon for the future. Not only this, but he admitted that while future games may contain ‘social elements’, their priority isn’t going to be on enhancing those features. This will come as disappointing news for fans of The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76. Especially for that acting troupe that recently performed Macbeth in Fallout 76. Go watch them while you can I suppose!

Bethesda Have Long List Of Upcoming Single-Player Titles

The next four upcoming Bethesda games are all single-player driven experiences. The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield are games we’re really looking forward to, as are many fans across the globe. Similarly, Ghostwhire: Tokyo is also a more narrative-driven title from Bethesda’s Japan-based developer Tango Gameworks. What a great time to be a fan of single-player games, ay?

PlayStation fans have been treated to great single-player titles in recent years, so perhaps this is Xbox realising they need to step up their game. Their exclusive library has been rather poor in comparison to the PS4 who boast the like of 2018’s Spider-Man and God of War, which Sony used as a selling point for the system. Adversely, Xbox decided to sell their consoles by showing off its technical capabilities. Unfortunately, that means when it comes to the exclusive library, they were completely outperformed. Besides Halo, Gears and Forza they don’t really have much of note to offer.

That is until now. Bethesda have clearly had discussions with Xbox to be the main studio to sort this problem out. Let’s just hope they are able to deliver! However, if your looking for that great online experience, then Elder Scrolls Online is still available to buy here. Don’t miss out!

QuakeCon is heading online again this year but Bethesda has promised a lot of developer panels, in-game rewards, and more.

QuakeCon started 25 years ago as a local gathering of id Software fans and has now transpired to one of the biggest gaming events in North America.

On Thursday, publisher Bethesda released its schedule for the three-day event that starts on August 19 and runs to August 21. It is an online event due to the worldwide pandemic and will be streaming on Bethesda’s Twitch account.

QuakeCon 2021 Schedule

The first event starts at 2PM ET (7PM BST) on the first day with id Software and MachineGames celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Quake game. It is then followed by an in-depth look into upcoming releases and updates such as Deathloop and Fallout 76, which is then followed by an inside look into Elder Scrolls Online and Skyrim retrospectively, followed by an update for Doom Eternal. The day ends with a Fallout 76 endgame guide stream and event-goers have a chance to play the game with UFC’s Rob Whittaker.

The second day starts with a UK stream team build-a-thon for Fallout 76 and is followed by more panels dedicated to Quake and Deathloop. There is then a surprising, yet fun event with WeRateDogs, the popular Twitter account that rates dogs and has over 9 million followers. Other events in the day include more panels on Elder Scrolls Online, a 10th-anniversary interactive panel for Skyrim, and an exclusive music performance by Trivium.

The final day begins with a Doom Eternal “Prayer vs Slayer” and another UK stream team event but this time focusing on Elder Scrolls. There will also be a Doom Eternal Community Bonanza, followed by Fallout 76 CAMP Love it or Nuke it. The last two events of the QuakeCon will be the Quake World Championship Grand Finals and Live Art Creation of Elder Scrolls Online.

In addition to the panels and events, eventgoers can enter to win prizes by watching the streams. Doom Eternal players will have access to free unique skins, badges, and more by logging in between August 19 and September 2. Quake Champions players can also do this until August 21. Meanwhile, Elder Scrolls Online players get bonus in-game rewards for watching at least 15 minutes of the stream after linking their Twitch and ESO accounts.

Bethesda is also celebrating QuakeCon 2021 with sales of 60-85% off on select titles.

Elder Scrolls Online

This humongous game is going free-to-play on PS4, Xbox One and PC!

Tamriel Unlimited will be bringing the ESO to PlayStation and Xbox with a lesser price barrier but the same online requirements as other games available. 

June 9th 2015 (coincidentally my birthday, and what a treat!) is the date that has been confirmed for the release of Bethesda’s online entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise, Elder Scrolls Online. As well as this, the developer has also revealed that the MMO will no longer need a monthly subscription to play.

Now dubbed The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, a press release has stated that the game will include all of the content that is available in the current game, “plus all the updates and content additions, including the exciting new Justice and Champion systems.” 

The PC version, however, will be going live earlier on 17th March, where players will be automatically moved across to the free-to-play world. An added bonus is that if you’ve already purchased the game then you won’t need to buy it again. Phew! There is also still a benefit for those who want to keep going with their paid subscription; ESO Plus is the name of the game’s premium service, and it will include: “exclusive in-game bonuses, a monthly allotment of Crowns to use in the store and access to all DLC game packs while a member.” Crowns will enforce as Tamriel Unlimited’s premium currency.

With this in mind, Xbox owners will need to have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription and PlayStation owners will also need a PlayStation Plus membership. 

Rumours have recently been swinging too, that the long-running and highly commended World of Warcraft would also transition to a free-to-play model soon, but Blizzard shed light that that isn’t the plan for their own MMO quite yet.
